Hi

I have two components with contacts between them . Initially for simplicity i have taken only a segment .

Now i need to consider the 360 degrees model

I am using transformation tool (tools -->transformation tool) for repeating the elements in a circular or linear pattern . 

After doing that i had to create the contacts between the newly created elements which is very time taking ( contact surfaces around 200 . contacts around 50 in number )

so is there any way to make it simple(where contacts also can be transformed along with the elements )

    Below is my experience, pls try:

    - save initial model to file 01

    - rotate elems (don't duplicate)

    - save as file 02

    - rotate... save as ....

    Once you get 10 files, import them to 1 file & equivalence nodes, organize elems.
